ATV Enthusiasts Attempt World Record for the Longest ATV Parade

After setting the record in 2009 and having their record broken in 2010, the All-Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota is gearing up for another attempt this year in Silver Bay, MN.

On June 23, 2012, the All-Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota (ATVAM) will be attempting to break a Guinness World Record™ for the World's Longest ATV Parade. In June of 2009 ATVAM broke the World Record for the "Longest ATV Parade" with 1,632 ATV's. In the fall of 2010 Utah broke the record with 1,870 ATV's. ATVAM encourages all ATV enthusiasts to join them in Silver Bay for a weekend of fun riding, and other ATV related activities. Organizers are aiming to have more than 2,000 ATV's participate in the parade.

If you register by Friday, May 8, 2012, you will receive one free limited edition "World's Longest ATV Parade" memorabilia t-shirt. To register please visitwww.atvparade.org or call ATVAM at (800) 442-8826). Parade organizers will also be holding a contest for the most creatively decorated ATV. After the parade concludes Zups will be hosting a buffet at the Silver Bay Union Hall.

Registration and the staging area for the parade will be located one half mile North of Outer Drive and Hwy. 61 N in the field in front of AmericInn Motel. There will be signs showing participants where to go. There will be ample parking on the streets and surrounding areas. The parade route will be a designated ATV trail for the day, so children can ride in the parade as long they meet all MN safety requirements. Side-by-side ATV's and three-wheelers are welcome to come, but are not going to be counted by Guinness World Records™ towards the record breaking attempt. Sponsors of the ATV Parade will be hosting booths on-site for participants to see new products.

Please bring a canned food item to donate to the Silver Bay food bank; items will be collected at the parade site.
